San Francisco Women’s Health Month

January 29, 2014

Please join us at a press conference in City Hall on Tuesday, February 4th at 10:00 a.m. in Room 201 to celebrate women’s health!

The Clinic in partnership with Supervisor Campos, Planned Parenthood, Trust Women Silver Ribbon Campaign, NARAL Pro-Choice California, California Family Health Council, Physicians for Reproductive Health, and The American Association of University Women have worked together to write and introduce a resolution at the Board of Supervisors to declare February, “Women’s Health Month” in San Francisco. Following the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and as the implementation of the Affordable Care Act begins, we felt it was important to take action to encourage women to get insured through Covered California or the expanded MediCal program, affirm San Francisco’s status as a pro-choice City, and acknowledge that reproductive health is women’s health and must be recognized, prioritized, and protected

In addition to the resolution, we will be launching a social media campaign during the month of February in order to encourage women to sign-up for health insurance and to send positive messages about women’s reproductive health and right to make decisions about our own bodies.
